(hi , Author here. Im gonna Stop doing that "He said the thing!" Type of closing the chapter evreytime...sorta , beacuse i thought it wouldnt be cool as i think it was. Anyways enjoy this chapter!)
A Hour has passed since the Tavern incident
Sasaki Left the tavern with his bag of Money while the bartender Would Wave and say goodbye to Him with a "Sweet" Smile
"...Its only been a few hours but im starting to worry about mom And how she'll handle living alone without help."
His mind couldnt stop thinking about his Mom and the dangers that may appear when he is gone
Kaneki on the other hand Slowly Drift into the air Besides him. Kaneki was the first 'Ghost' He ever interacted with considering he just Appeared from thin-air and inside his mind too
His Clothes was in a dirty mess and he always had that uncomfortable feelings when kaneki goes closer to Sasaki
As Sasaki Walked through the busy streets Sasaki Starts to get curious and asked Kaneki "Hey , kaneki..right? I got a question"
"yeah? , whats the question buddy"
Both their Faces stared eachother as a finger was pointed to infront of kaneki
"What..are you And where do you come from , why am i the only one that can see you?" Since Sasaki just met Kaneki and chatted with him for a while he didn't Thinked of Asking about him until now
Kaneki that Heard his question just smiled before Pointing to Sasaki
"like i said , Im you. And you are me , We're like a twin in another mother Except Instead of twin its 2 of the same person. Like a doppelganger"
This Answer Left Sasaki with even more question yet before raising his voice to Ask again kaneki Would put his hand into Sasaki mouth So that he wont ask anymore
"shhh , You're gonna ask alot of question. I can tell that by your eyes and expressions..and also" His eyes Rotated to the left and that small eye movement Made Sasaki realize something.
Sasaki Looked at the Surroundings , most of the people stared at Sasaki like hes a crazy person talking to himself and Sasaki Seeing the people felt embarrased and Quietly Sprint Away from the Gaze of the people
....
.....
....
...
He would be at a Lonely and dark Alleyway , crouching and taking a deep breath before facing toward kaneki who is Mimicking Him
"....I want you to tell me what the hell is wrong with my body and what is that red tentacle that spawned out of my back" Sasaki spoke
He never learnt a single thing about whats happening to his body Except The fact he runs on human flesh as main food now as of now
Kaneki hearing the question Scratched his head before Answering his question
"looks like we're finally at a Certain Massive breakthrough now huh? Fine i'll tell you".
Kaneki Lifted his index finger and Pointing it to Sasaki Right eye
"you're a Ghoul , a human..sorta , that eats other humans"
Sasaki Flinched at the answer , He never know something like that Exist until now and unfortunately he was cursed to be one somehow
"a Ghoul..?"
"yes , a ghoul. Now i don't know how you became one beacuse for someone to be a ghoul is to have a high enough rc cells" kaneki Curiously Said.
In a few minutes Sasaki and kaneki would Chat or talk alot About things Sasaki Never knew exist As it was his first time having to Know about the existence of ghouls and others
But giving him new information lead to kaneki being curious , intrigued by What lies in his Knowledge since he also doesnt have a single clue on what Sasaki World is almost like he came from Another World even thought he said they're the same person
In the end They Both came to a understanding towards eachother , Creating a Sense of Familliarity and Bond.
After a brief talk and discussion a sudden hologram with text Popped up from think air near him
Sasaki who noticed the Hologram turned his head towards it and takes a Look at it
The Text is Read:
["NOTICE: as the Years went By And Technology developed to the point theres a very first tower Exclusive Media Feature. theres been a surge of Hunter Coming to the Tower , and therefore a large event Will Appear As of today!"]
Sasaki and kaneki Stared blankly , not knowing what to react.....
Meanwhile:
A Giant Holographic Projection Appeared outside the tower , circling the tower as Words of the called 'event'.
Many People and Hunters would scramble in chaos
Some we're filled with excitement , some we're dreadful while others was curious
Post about it Began to appear one by one in social media , As it then Spreads like a wildfire to the point Even News about it will appear later on as incoming threats would creep in the event slowly.....
[the towers first event , I wonder what its gonna look like?]
iLikechicken1020: Tsk , things is gonna get worse now that there Will be a event like the government Will probably get involved with it and profit off it

[More replies....]
Back to the tower
"...What the hell is this?" hes confused as to What is gonna happen Until another one popped up Besides him but it was not the same as the Previous one
When he takes a look , there was only three Words: [Synchronize Ability Achieved]
"what the..?" Sasaki , confused by the Sudden Gain of a ability would Stare at it for a few second before he began to have a headachd and Kneeling to the ground with Both hands Grabbing his head.
"Argh!-What the hell is this?!" He Shouted as Many Unfamilliar memories slowly flooded in , forcing it was into his head with most of the memories blurred out or Fades
Meanwhile Kaneki Was also seen Being in the same situation as Sasaki
Then After a while the pain is settled and There was Nothing More of it except the fact that Sasaki Feels like hes a completely new person and same goes to kaneki at the same time
"What the hell..?" Sasaki Stood up with his eyes Glaring at his Arms , his hands Felt wrinkly and filled with scars and His Nails has a slight dark colour in it
After inspecting his hands and arms he would Grab his Phone and Stared at his Reflection from the dark Screen
Thats when he realized his Whole Body has (Slightly) changed and it was due to the new synchronized ability.
His hair was having a trace of white strands and his face looks slightly more skinnier and slim than what he used to become.
He felt a strange sense of Familliarity Upon seeing himself Althought he Doesnt even know what is he gonna become but when He looked at kaneki His Eyes Widen since Kaneki Body was Also having a slight change
Kaneki whole body was slightly altered to be like Sasaki
Upon seeing the changes he realized yhat something must've done it as he then looked at something
The hologram , known as 'system' used by the Tower as a way to deliver message and possibly Give Simple information of Hunters physical stats and abilities but not many of the Hunters use it as they can get more detailed Information of themselves through TH advanced technology
He stared at the system , as another System Popped up , layering the Previous System hologram
It contained a basic Info of himself:
[name: Sasaki Ken]
[Race: Human(Ghoul)]
[Abilities: Synchronize]
Thats all the information it Gives , nothing more nothing less
Sasaki Whom seeing the new ability decided to Ignore it for now , closing the system pop ups.
as he Closed it all He began to Quickly clean off and adjust his clothes before Going Back to the Busy streets away from the alleyway
When he see the crowds , all of them stared at a large Holographic Screen in the skies
He Quietly joined the crowds watching it , in the screen theres a Person Standing menacingly as the Surroundings was Filled with corpses / dead body
He wears a large Iron armour with a halberd thats stuck into the ground besides him , His Helmet was that of a Monster
people in the crowds was whispering and making rumours about him
Kaneki Who is Interested in the scene walked his way from the crowds and when he left the crowd he was near a Pillar of blue light for what seems to be located in the center of the town and is the only place where you can teleport to the next floor
"Kaneki , do you know what my motive is?" he asked
Kaneki who fell silent after being affected by the ability would Answer his question
"Money..?"
Sasaki Snapped his finger meaning his Answer was correct
"NICE , Money!. At first we had a trouble from the tavern but now that imm getting used to it and Accepting For who i am now , that means Its time for Us to take a step forward and Get down to bussiness"
Kaneki Just Sighed as Sasaki would take a deep breath before Walking to the Pillar light , vanishing instantly.
